Compilation of multiple files at once

[Nestor Dutko]

Is there anyway to take all the targets that need compilation and
compile them at once? I have defined a default rule for compiling in
this case java when class files are not found.

The targets I define as individual classes.

What I would like to do is have make take all the java source files
and compile them in one command vs separately (which it currently
does).

Are there any ideas that people have? The time savings is significant
between a single 'javac 1.java 2.java 3.java' and the resultant 'javac
1.java; javac 2.java; etc.'

Thanks!
